AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD (AGUIRRE, DER ZORN GOTTES)

Auirre , The Wrath of God talks about an insane and ruthless soldier , Don Lope de Aguirre,who goes for a Spanish expedition leading a group of conquistadors down the River Amazon in South America for the quest of a city of gold. But whether the quest will reach them to the city of gold or destruction?

Aguirre, The Wrath of God lands you up in a land of cruelty, ruthlessness, folly, madness and unforgiving jungle of Amazon. Every scene does not allow the audience to wink specially when a raft gets separated and is caught in a whirlpool and the corpses get lost in the river. The film's musical numbers are performed by Popol Vuh, a German band.

The saga of adventures, the passion and vigor with which the film is shot and outstanding performances make the film just not a great one but also one of the best German movies but also one of the top 100 Foreign Films.

Key cast of the movie are: Klaus Kinski as Don Lope de Aguirre, Helena Rojo as Inez, Del Negro as Brother Gasper de Carvajal, Ruy Guerra as Don Pedro de Ursua and others.
